This is just my understanding and 2¢ on the matter....
Softgels aren't to be taken because they contain the vitamins mixed in oil which slides right through us. I don't know about them getting stuck and whatnot, but if they don't dissolve well, I can see where it would be plausible. Capsules, on the other hand, are just gelatin. They do dissolve with warm temps...and if they contain the dry, powdered vitamins, they are perfect for us. If you were to feel it "stuck", just drink warm liquid. A caplet, or tablet, CAN, theoretically, get stuck because most don't dissolve quickly at all. Make sense?
